Grudge: Scotland v England 1990, The (Yellow Jersey)

Murrayfield, the Calcutta Cup, March 1990. England vs. Scotland winner-takes-all for the Five Nations Grand Slam, the biggest prize in northern hemisphere rugby. Will Carling’s England are the very embodiment of Margaret Thatcher's Britain snarling, brutish and all-conquering. Scotland are the underdogs second-class citizens from a land that’s become the testing ground for the most unpopular tax in living memory: Thatcher’s Poll Tax. Fifteen men in blue jerseys are plotting the downfall of the English oppressors. In Edinburgh, nationalism is rising high what happens in the stadium will resound far beyond the pitch.
